I have the crap goodyear runflats, it rides like a sherman tank with z06 suspension and run flats. Also straight line traction is like a polyglass, can smoke tires past 60 in a modified c5 with z06 rims and tires. what are you guys using as premium tires on your c6z06 cars? thought about...

good suggestion, I used some PB buster penetrater, the best by far, and after 5 sprays and soaking in between, used mallet or hammer to pound end shaft, at first before spray would not budge, the right side moved in and out like a shock, so after an hour plus, it freed itself up and pounded it...

I got tired of cheap Made in China :hb:r junk rims, ie aftermarket z06 rims. They are made of thin cheap aluminum and bend so easy, had 2 bent wheels in 1 year never hitting anything, not a single mark anywhere on rim, yet bent. So I bought a set of 2008 Z06 rims in polished, wish chrome, but I...

I have 18x10.5 plus used C6Z06 suspension on my c5, wicked fast see below I have the knock off 18x10.5 with 295/35/18 and I have read in one of my C5 performance books that the stock C6 z06 wheel will fit, the 19x12, it states you may have to cut part of the upper liner POSSIBLY, they use a 2...

I currently have a 2002 c5 corvette and want to put the c6 Z06 rims on it. I currently have aftermrket c6z06 wheels that are 17x9.5 on front and 18x10.5 rear with 295/35/18 tires on rear and 275/40/17 on front. I am looking at 1.5 inches of rim larger which is .75 inches closer to wheel well...

Sweeden is a long way for me to get stock shocks.. Here in america, or at least las vegas, they have been long gone, i can get part numbers from local dealer, just no parts, discontinued but part number is in the system, really not a big deal, got the kyb on and they are pretty good, better than...

AC Delco Shocks Discontinued for 85 vettes Been to dealer and for 9 years they have been discontinued, they can only get KYB and not even the delco bilsteins either. I can get just about anything made, the problem this thread was started for was an available shock that gave a more comfortable...

buying the edelbrock the edelbrock is high pressure gas but will give smoother ride than bilsteins, so $150 each is small price to pay for some comfort since 85 was stiffest suspension ever in a corvette, the whole idea was to improve ride quality, not a track car anyway.. the oil charged...

THAT RED VETTE'S INTERIOR IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN, AWESOME TASTE THERE MAN, WOW !! :BOW:BOW:dancenaughty:flaming I just have to ask did you do that yourself, or have someone do it, what was the cost. I love my vettes and have a Cl600 V12 twin Turbo Mercedes that has stitched leather dash...

I have rescently noticed a clicking type noise shifting from park to reverse or park to Drive or drive to reverse and reverse to drive, I can also rock car back and forth to get noise coming from left rear wheel, this car has 1/2 sharfts from rear end is this where problem is? or does this car...

I never said anything about buying cheap shocks, I merely presented a question, I have plenty of cornering performance with my suspension and tire package, beleive me, I also have too harsh of ride and considered the non gas shocks to soften the ride, obviously money has nothing to do with my...

what is the difference and benefits over a basic gabriel or monroe $35 oil filled shcok compared to a gas charged KYB or even a Bilstein that costs double to triple? not worried about longevity, what is the ride difference or the performance difference? I am assuming the cheaper gabriels or...

No they are different in the rear by allot, cant use them. Front are close enough to use. Also you can't use C5 wheels on 1984-1989 ish C4, tried on my 85 and the wheels stuck in 2 inches too far, almost rubben on wheel whell backing and suspension, I have heard later C4 have different...

C4 vrs C5 as I own both The handling performane on the C4 is hand down way better :cool, the ride Quality on the C5 is much smoother, the C5 has more headroom and technology and gadgets :beer , we raced both and it was neck and neck with C4 slight advantage then after 60 the top end of the C5...
